2026 Jaidon Joseph Smith Educational Scholarship Award

Katherine’s journey reflects extraordinary perseverance, growth, and self-advocacy. As a 2E student balancing advanced coursework with learning challenges, she worked tirelessly to develop the executive functioning, organization, and independence needed to thrive academically. Through Honors and AP coursework, Katherine learned how to advocate for herself, manage her accommodations, and build systems that allowed her to succeed on her own terms. Her determination, maturity, and resilience embody the spirit of this scholarship, and we are excited to see all she will accomplish in the future.
